Given the exhibit below. You are a network manager of your company. You are reading your Syslog server reports. On the basis of the Syslog message shown, which two descriptions are correct? (Choose two.)
A.
This message is a level 5 notification message.
B.
This message is unimportant and can be ignored.
C.
This is a normal system-generated information message and does not require further investigation.
D.
Service timestamps have been globally enabled.
Explanation/Reference:
Without having run the “service timestamps” commands, syslog messages take the
following form:
17w5d: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/41, changed state to down.
The default is to show the uptime of the router/switch, not the specific time and date,
leaving you to try and count backwards from today to determine when the event occurred.
By issuing the “service timestamps log datetime localtime ” command, reading the output,
never mind troubleshooting, is greatly simplified. The above output changes to:
Aug 20 09:11:22 EST: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/41, changed
state to down
And from the output in the question, the alert is a level-5 notification. The output levels
are:
0 – Emergencies
1 – Alerts
2 – Critical
3 – Errors
4 – Warnings
5 – Notifications
6 – Informational
7 – Debugging
The level of a particular message will be indicated by the Sys-level… in this case, a ‘5’.
